We have 30 days to raise $5,500 which will fund photojourneys to at least 3 US public lands!

The goal is to raise awareness of the national heritage each American shares in our collective ownership of National Parks, State Parks, BLM land, USDA Forest Service lands, Wildlife areas, National Forests, State Forests and all manner of public lands.

Part of being good stewards of this land is to recognize the communities of life who exist in these environments. I seek to document the inhabitants of our public lands to help raise awareness about conservation efforts and recreational opportunities.

Please take a moment to check out the project, make a donation, and let others know about the Quiet Wild.

Quiet Wild is a photojournalism project seeking to represent the Community of Life in the public lands of the United States. The project explores the back country and less visited areas of National Parks, State Parks, BLM land, US Forest Service land and other public land.

Photography, videography, journaling, poetry and multimedia presentations bring these under-represented areas into the public consciousness.

Raising awareness and documenting these valuable public resources is key to protecting lands which are often under threat of misuse from corporations and individuals putting profit and self interest ahead of practicing good stewardship.
